Top 10 Movement Breakdown:

The top three stays as it is. St. Christopher's went 6-0 over the last two weeks with wins over Benedictine and Nansemond-Suffolk. Miller was also unbeaten, going 5-0 with wins over Atlantic Shores, Benedictine, and Greenbrier. St. John's season begins this week, but the Cadets did play a scrimmage last week against Top-25 public school Wilson and blew them out in the late innings after the game was close through four.

Greenbrier moves up a spot, taking care of business in most of their games and falling in a narrow loss to Miller School.

The big mover in this weeks' rankings is Gonzaga. While the Eagles haven't officially played a game yet, they did play two scrimmages last week and won both in impressive fashion. They have a loaded lineup and depth on the mound and are going to be a serious contender in the WCAC and DCSAA this spring.

Highland slid a few spots to 7, the Hawks picked up an important Conference win against Fredericksburg Christian and also beat Steward, but they had a loss to Woodberry Forest as well.

Bishop O'Connell moves into the rankings off of a few strong scrimmage performances and the Knights begin their season this week.

Cape Henry had good wins against Walsingham and Fredericksburg Christian, but suffered a loss to Nansemond Suffolk and slides a few spots. 

 

Dropping Out:

Walsingham drops out after losses to Cape Henry and Steward, but the Trojans did beat Nansemond Suffolk. 

Nansemond Suffolk remains just outside the Top 10, the Saints did beat Cape Henry, but lost to St. Christopher's and Walsingham.
